In a lot of the responses above, I see people failing to see the outset of the deliveries. There where 305 airframes at the end of last year.

now: 290 airframes (15 returned to lessor)
until somewhere half 2018: replacement of 105 airframes
from half 2018 until end 2019: addition of the rest of the orders bringing the total to 375 airframes.

The point: there is no actual expansion before 2018. Before this, starting from the beginning of 2014, extreme numbers of cadets are to be expected. Flying hours will go down extremely from now on, probably with more compulsory unpaid leave or more unpaid standbys. Cadets joining from now on should be happy to have a job, but will face the results of the employment model within the first year, by losing a lot of their income to taxes (up to 60% off gross income) which can be covered with expenses in the first year. After that it is salary-60%. Just keep this in mind
